“A captivating and original account of Beatrix Potter’s life and her love of plants and gardening.” —Judy Taylor, vice president of the Beatrix Potter Society

There aren’t many books more beloved than The Tale of Peter Rabbit or even fewer authors as iconic as Beatrix Potter. More than 150 million copies of her books have sold all over the world and interest in her work and life remains high. And her characters—Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle Duck, and the entire rest—exist in a charmed world filled with flowers and gardens. Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life is the first book to explore the origins of Beatrix Potter’s love of gardening and plants and show how this passion came to be reflected in her work. The book begins with a gardener’s biography, highlighting the important thing moments and places right through her life that helped define her, including her home Hill Top Farm in England’s Lake District. Next, the reader follows Beatrix Potter through a year in her garden, with a season-by-season overview of what’s blooming that in point of fact brings her gardens alive. The book culminates in a traveler’s guide, with information on how and where to talk over with Potter’s gardens as of late.
